Midland Police Department officials are saying that the call about an active shooter at ClayDesta on Thursday was a false call.

MPD reported Thursday it received a call before 3 p.m. about an active shooter at the building complex located northwest of the intersection at Wadley Avenue and Big Spring Street.

Once police were on the scene, it was discovered no shots had been fired, but that a person with a gun might have been on the scene. Police locked the building down and then cleared each floor, finishing around 4:15 p.m.

City spokeswoman Elana Ladd reported later Thursday that police believe it was a false call and that are seeking further information about that
